Running back Ian Johnson didn't play in the Boise State football team's 45-31 victory over Louisiana Tech on Saturday, and he said a player for the Nevada Wolf Pack was at least partially responsible.

Johnson, who leads the Western Athletic Conference in scoring and is second in the WAC in rushing at 115.5 yards per game, has a bruised kidney and will miss Friday's showdown with Fresno State in Fresno, Calif., coach Chris Petersen said. Johnson was injured in the Broncos' 69-67 quadruple-overtime victory over Nevada in Boise, Idaho on Oct. 14.
